“Sock” it to him

Do you remember the part in Harry Potter when Harry asks Dumbledore what he sees when he looks in the Mirror of Erised? (The mirror shows you the thing you desire most in the world.) Dumbledore answers, “I see myself holding a pair of thick, woolen socks. One can never have enough socks. Another Christmas has come and gone and I didn’t get a pair. People will insist on giving me books.”

My dad totally gets that. My dad and Dumbledore are kindred spirits.

When we ask my dad what he wants for every Father’s Day, Christmas, or birthday the answer is “socks.”

So this gift idea is inspired by my dad, and a little bit by Dumbledore too.

To make this gift you will need:

A basket or gift bag

Slippers (as many as you want)

Socks (as many as you want)

Any foot items you want to put in such as nail clippers, lotion, foot powder, foot scrub

I love the idea because my boyfriend has always said that if he was rich, he would buy himself enough socks to wear a brand new pair everyday (when I said that was wasteful, he said he would donate them afterwards LOL). But anyway, my only reservation on this is the foot massage coupon O_o I can’t touch other people’s feet. Maybe if I get him a coupon or certificate for a pedicure? :| Haha, you have such great ideas.

This is a very sweet idea. I do think that any present from a son or daughter will be appreciated by his or her parents. However, a present that really means a lot to someone and knowing that the giver has personally made or come up with it is, for me, another level of gift giving. Thank you for this idea. This is really awesome!
